Roadrunner Baseball

The Roadrunners were on the road all week (which is why I don’t have any pics). AC fell 16-11 in a single game at Temple College on Monday, then dropped both games of a doubleheader at Paris College on Saturday, losing 14-10 and 8-4. AC has a pair of key conference doubleheaders this week at home: Navarro College on Tuesday (weather permitting) and Bossier Parish Community College on Friday.
